Abstract

The history of law of contract indicates how human relationships change, its impact on trade and technology. The evolution of contract law has brought about implied contracts to written contracts that are enforced in a court of law.

It also imply that need to embrace law and hybrid contractual forms that incorporate technological innovation and existing law protection to ensure that it promotes automation as opposed to eroding the human values on which the law of contract is based.
